The 74 acre farm of Mark Andrew Buczek on the east side of SR 511 just north of SR 303, Camden Township. Mr Buczek moved here in 1930. He originally raised a herd of around 30 Holsteins but sold the herd in 1951 and began farming all the acreage. The stately brick house was built by the Caulkins family during the civil war using bricks made onsite. The house and the arched top barn which was built in 1945 are still there. The crops are clover for seed, soy beans and wheat. See photo 30 for a reverse view of the farm.

Featured as Mystery Farm number 55 by the Wellington Enterprise on December 30, 1956. Search the Lorain County home page for "mystery" to see other farms.
